Butter - East U.S.

Released on August 20, 2025

Butter production is picking up in the Northeast. Some manufacturers are able 
to buy spot loads of cream for the churns at a lower price than previous weeks. 
Other manufacturers are selling cream at a premium for Class II production 
rather than send it to the churn. Spot loads of cream are widely available. 
Retail butter sales are increasing due to the upcoming holiday. Bulk sales are 
steady. Demand for butter is slowly increasing for both retail and bulk butter. 
Inventory levels are higher than the beginning of the month. The CME price 
remains low this week.
